Zusammenfassung:Methods are disclosed for generating HLA homozygous parthenogenetic human stem cell (hpSC-Hhom) lines from both HLA homozygous and HLA heterozygous d onors. These hpSC-Hhom lines demonstrate typical human embryonic stem cell m orphology, expressing appropriate stem cell markers and possessing high leve ls of alkaline phosphatase and telomerase activity. Additionally, injection of these cell lines into immunodeficient animals leads to teratoma formation . Furthermore, in the case of HLA heterozygous donors, the hpSC-Hhom lines i nherit the haplotype from only one of the donor's parents. SNP data analysis suggests that hpSC-Hhom lines derived from HLA heterozygous oocyte donors a re homozygous throughout the genome as assessed by single-nucleotide polymor phism (SNP) analysis. The protocol as disclosed minimizes the use of animal- derived components, which makes the stem cells more practical for clinical a pplication.
